I'm freakin out.
I just spent $250 USD on an 80 gig ipod and had everything working great. tried to sync a video with thinliquidfilm, the ubuntu wiki community recommended GUI app for vid syncing, and now none of my songs display on the ipod. they are still there, taking up room, but the ipod says they are data type "other". tried clearing and re-syncing, everything went fine, but still they do not show in the ipod. read that restoring factory settings in iTunes works, but guess what? no iTunes for linux.

this ipod is ONE DAY OLD!
What do I do?!

BAHHHH!

    Or, well...I don't know how it would go for linux...but I have some Linux-hoar friends that 'may' know what to do.

      Winamp3 can be made to work on Penguin, but it's not got the iPod support that'd be needed here.

      Sadly the Winamp guy(s) don't have the time or funding to port it to Linux.

    i installed windows on a separate hard drive and use itunes on that to sync my music to my ipod.
    did you get the ipod classic? if u got 5th or 5.5th gen ipod video, you can just put rockbox on it. rockbox isn't compatible with ipod classics yet.

    Daft question, but have you tried restarting the iPod?

    There used to be (Last time I used a classic/video/whatever) a method of restarting them. Got me out of a pickle many times. Whether it helps or not, it can't hurt.
